the new Apple iMac

Looks ok, but not really to my taste. But I can't see it having much success - the problem in the consumer market (which I gather this is aimed for) is that impressions count for everything. People think they want a floppy, as all computers have one, a CD-Rom drive, and expansion. Whether or not they actually need them is a moot point. I assume that version 2 will have the drives. Remember the reaction to the Apple ][c? It didn't matter that all of the things most people wanted to add to the expansion slots were already built into the computer - the ][ had expansion slots, the ][+ had slots and the ][e had slots Therefore a lot of people weren't interested in buying the ][c. It was still clearly a success, but this did limit sales. The iMac is even worse. It does follow with my impressions of Steve Jobs. He is indeed a man with vision, but there is only really the one vision and he doesn't like anyone elses. This isn't a bad thing, as it is a good idea, but I fear it is part of the reason so many of the most interesting projects at Apple were cut. They just didn't match Jobs' idea of what was worthwhile.
